[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 10The present invention discloses a cylindrical battery detection mechanism for detecting the diameter, length and appearance of a cylindrical battery 100, comprising: a workbench 10 and a Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20, a Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30, an X-axis adjustment mechanism 50 and a driving device 60 arranged on the workbench 10, wherein the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20 is used to adjust the spacing of cylindrical batteries 100 of different diameters on the Y-axis, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 is used to block cylindrical batteries 100 of different diameters in the Z-axis direction to limit the movement of the cylindrical batteries 100 in the Y-axis direction, the X-axis adjustment mechanism 50 is used to limit the movement of the cylindrical batteries 100 in the X-axis direction, and the driving device 60 is used to drive the cylindrical batteries 100 to rotate on the workbench 10.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20 includes a slide rail 21 extending along the Y-axis direction, at least two slide seats 22 slidably arranged on the slide rail 21, and a fixing knob 23 for fixing the slide seat 22 on the slide rail 21 is arranged on the slide seat 22.

[0032] See also Figure 4 Furthermore, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20 also includes a fixed shell 24, and the upper surface and outer surface of the fixed shell 24 are interconnected and respectively provided with a movable groove 241 and a sliding groove 242 along the Y-axis direction. The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 20 is located in the movable groove 241 and moves along the Y-axis direction. At least a portion of the fixed knob 23 passes through the sliding groove 242 and is threadedly connected to the slide seat 22.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20 is positioned, the fixing knob 23 is rotated so that the operating portion of the fixing knob 23 abuts against the outer surface of the fixing housing 24 to keep the slide seat 22 fixed on the slide rail 21 .

[0034] See also Figure 2 Each of the slides 22 is provided with a Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30, and the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 can be raised and lowered on the slide 22. Each of the Z-axis adjustment mechanisms 30 is provided with a limit rod 40, and the limit rod 40 is used to limit the movement of the cylindrical battery 100 along the Y-axis direction.

[0035] More specifically, the limiting rod 40 extends along the X-axis direction. When the limiting rod 40 limits the cylindrical battery 100, the height of the limiting rod 40 in the Z-axis direction is lower than the diameter of the cylindrical battery 100 to prevent the cylindrical battery 100 from detaching from the limiting rod 40 when driven by the driving device 60.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, a pair of the slide rails 21 are arranged on the workbench 10 of the cylindrical battery detection mechanism, and the pair of the slide rails 21 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart and extend along the Y-axis direction, and the limit rod 40 is located between the pair of the slide rails 21 and the extension direction of the limit rod 40 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the slide rail 21.

[0037] The same number of slide seats 22 are disposed on each slide rail 21, and the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 is disposed on each slide seat 22. Both ends of the limit rod 40 are connected to the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30. In more detail, the limit rod 40 is connected to the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 through a connecting arm 90.

[0038] In this embodiment, by adjusting the slide 22 slidingly set on the slide rail 21 to move along the Y-axis direction, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 above the slide 22 can be driven to move synchronously, and the limit rod 40 on the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 can be further driven to move to adjust the distance between two adjacent limit rods 40, so as to adapt to cylindrical batteries 100 of different diameters.

[0039] In this embodiment, the distance between every two adjacent limit rods 40 can be adjusted to be the same, which is used to detect cylindrical batteries 100 of the same specification and diameter, or the distance between every two adjacent limit rods 40 can be adjusted to be different, which is used to detect cylindrical batteries 100 of different specifications and diameters, thereby greatly improving the adaptability of the cylindrical battery 100.

[0040] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 At least one X-axis adjustment mechanism 50 is disposed on each of the limit rods 40 . In this embodiment, the X-axis adjustment mechanism 50 is a limit block, which is used to limit the movement of the cylindrical battery 100 along the X-axis direction.

[0041] When one limiting block is disposed on each limiting rod 40 , the two limiting blocks on the adjacent limiting rods 40 are used to jointly limit the movement of the cylindrical battery 100 along the X-axis direction.

[0042] When two limit blocks are provided on each limit rod 40, the two limit blocks on one limit rod 40 can be used to limit the movement of the cylindrical battery 100 along the X-axis direction, or the two limit blocks on adjacent limit rods 40 can be used to jointly limit the movement of the cylindrical battery 100 along the X-axis direction.

[0043] When a plurality of the limit blocks are provided on each limit rod 40, the cylindrical battery 100 can be jointly restricted from moving along the X-axis direction by two adjacent limit blocks on one limit rod 40, or the cylindrical battery 100 can be jointly restricted from moving along the X-axis direction by two adjacent limit blocks on the limit rods 40.

[0044] See also Figure 6 , Figure 8-Figure 10 The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 includes a fixed unit 31 fixed on the slide 22, a sliding unit 32 slidably connected to the fixed unit 31 along the Z-axis direction, and an adjustment unit for controlling the sliding unit 32 to slide relative to the fixed unit 31. The limit rod 40 is arranged on the sliding unit 32 through the connecting arm 90.

[0045] For more details, see Figure 6 The Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 further includes a horizontally extending fixed seat 36 mounted on the slide 22 and an extended fixed plate 37 fixed on the fixed seat 36, and the fixed unit 31 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate. The sliding unit 32 is provided with a convex wedge-shaped portion 321, and the fixed unit 31 is provided with a concave wedge-shaped groove 311 corresponding to the wedge-shaped portion 321. The wedge-shaped portion 321 can slide along the wedge-shaped groove 311, and the adjustment unit can adjust the sliding unit 32 to move relative to the fixed unit 31.

[0046] For further information, see Fig.10 The adjusting unit includes a turbine 34 rotatably arranged inside the fixed unit 31 and a rack 33 fixedly arranged on the sliding unit 32 and matched with the turbine 34. The turbine 34 is provided with a first tooth 341, and the rack 33 is provided with a second tooth 331 meshing with the first tooth 341. In more detail, the wedge-shaped portion 321 is provided with a fixing groove 322 for installing the rack 33, the rack 33 is installed in the fixing groove 322 and the second tooth 331 protrudes from the wedge-shaped portion 321, the wedge-shaped groove 311 is provided with an avoidance groove 312 corresponding to the second tooth 331, and the fixed unit 31 is provided with a mounting groove 313 for mounting the turbine 34, the mounting groove 313 is connected with the avoidance groove 312, and when the turbine 34 is installed in the mounting groove 313, the first tooth 341 of the turbine 34 extends into the avoidance groove 312 and meshes with the first tooth 341.

[0047] When the turbine 34 rotates in a first direction, it drives the sliding unit 32 to move upward; when the turbine 34 rotates in a second direction, it drives the sliding unit 32 to move downward, so as to drive the limiting rod 40 installed on the sliding unit 32 to move along the Z-axis direction, so as to adapt to the height direction of the cylindrical battery 100 and prevent the cylindrical battery 100 from escaping from the limiting rod 40.

[0048] Furthermore, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 also includes a locking unit 35, which is threadedly mounted on the fixing unit 31 and the threaded end of the locking unit 35 extends inwardly into the wedge-shaped groove 311 and abuts against a fastening accessory 314 arranged in the wedge-shaped groove 311. When the locking unit 35 rotates about a first direction, the threaded end of the locking unit 35 abuts against the fastening accessory 314 so that the fastening accessory 314 abuts against the wedge-shaped portion 321 of the sliding unit 32 to prevent the sliding unit 32 from moving relative to the fixing unit 31; when the locking unit 35 rotates about a second direction, the threaded end of the locking unit 35 pulls the fastening accessory 314 so that the fastening accessory 314 is away from the wedge-shaped portion 321 of the sliding unit 32 to enable the sliding unit 32 to move relative to the fixing unit 31.

[0049] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving device 60 includes a transmission belt 61 and a driving motor 62 for driving the transmission belt 61 to rotate, and the outer circumference of the cylindrical battery 100 is in contact with the transmission belt 61. In more detail, the driving device 60 also includes a driving wheel 63 and at least one driven wheel 64. The driving motor 62 drives the driving wheel 63 to rotate, and drives the driven wheel 64 to rotate synchronously under the drive of the transmission belt 61, so that the transmission belt 61 rotates around the driving wheel 63 and the driven wheel 64 and drives the cylindrical battery 100 to rotate.

[0050] In this embodiment, the contact surface between the transmission belt 61 and the cylindrical battery 100 is arranged parallel to the upper surface of the workbench 10 , and the driving motor 62 is located below the workbench 10 .

[0051] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cylindrical battery detection mechanism further includes a camera lens 70, which is located above the workbench 10 and is used to detect the cylindrical battery 100. Furthermore, the cylindrical battery detection mechanism further includes a light source device 80, which is used to provide a light source for the area where the cylindrical battery 100 is placed, so as to provide sufficient light source for the camera lens 70 to collect data of the cylindrical battery 100, thereby ensuring more accurate collection of the detection data.

[0052] When the present invention is used, first, the slide seat 22 is moved to slide along the slide rail 21 to drive the limit rod 40 provided on the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 to move synchronously, so as to adjust the spacing between the two adjacent limit rods 40 to adapt to the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected, and fix them by the fixing knob 23; then, the sliding unit 32 is adjusted by the adjustment unit of the Z-axis adjustment mechanism to drive the limit rod 40 installed on the sliding unit 32 to move up and down, so as to adjust the height of the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected, and lock it by the locking unit 35; then, the limit block on the limit rod 40 is adjusted to adjust the length of the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected; finally, the drive motor 62 is started and drives the transmission belt 61 to drive the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected to rotate, and at the same time, the light source device 80 is turned on and irradiated on the area of ​​the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected, and the camera lens 70 collects data and uploads the data to the external receiving unit for data analysis and detection and finally determines the detection result.

[0053] Alternatively, when the present invention is used, the sliding unit 32 can be first adjusted by the adjustment unit of the Z-axis adjustment mechanism to drive the limit rod 40 installed on the sliding unit 32 to move up and down, so as to adjust the height of the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected, and lock it by the locking unit 35; then, the slide seat 22 is moved to slide along the slide rail 21 to drive the limit rod 40 set on the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 to move synchronously, so as to adjust the spacing between two adjacent limit rods 40 to be detected. The limit rods 40 are fixed by the fixing knob 23; then, the limit block on the limit rod 40 is adjusted to adjust the length of the cylindrical battery 100 to be detected.

[0054] Alternatively, when the present invention is used, the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 and the X-axis adjustment mechanism 50 are adjusted in other combination orders to adapt to the size of the cylindrical battery 100, which is not particularly limited here.

[0055] The cylindrical battery detection mechanism provided by the present invention can not only adapt to cylindrical batteries of different models, but also detect multiple cylindrical batteries of different models at the same time through the mutual coordination and adjustment of the Y-axis adjustment mechanism 20, the Z-axis adjustment mechanism 30 and the X-axis adjustment mechanism 50.

[0056] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
